Description

Specificity

The antibody reacts with fibroblasts in tissue as well as cultured fibroblasts. On skin sections the antibody reacts with stratum basal epidermal cells. The antigen defined by antibody TE-7 appears to be a marker for mesodermally dervied (mesenchymal) human connective tissue and tumors derived from such tissue, e.g. fibrosarcomas (Haynes, B.F., et al. (1984). J. Exp. Med. 159(4):1149-1168). The antibody is useful for the assessment of thymic epithelial culture contamination with fibroblasts, and the identification of cells of mesodermal origin in the fetus.

Immunogen

Whole human thymic stoma cells (Haynes, B.F., et al. (1984). J. Exp. Med. 159(4):1149-1168).

Application

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot immunostained fibroblastic cells in paraffin-embedded gastrocnemius section from a patient with myopathic condition (Courtesy of Duy Minh Ha, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE)
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot immunostained human muscle fibroblasts by fluorescent immunocytochemistry (Agley, C.C., et al. (2015). J. Vis. Exp. (95):52049).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot immunostained MRC-5 fetal fibroblasts and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF), but not fibrocytes or macrophages by immunocytochemistry (Bertolotto, C., et al. (2009). PLoS One. 4(10):e7475).
Flow Cytometry Analysis: A representative lot detected fibroblasts differentiated from human ESCs and iPSCs (Zhang, J., et al. (2012). Circ. Res. 111(9):1125-1136).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot immunostained fibroblasts in human skeletal muscle cryosections by fluorescent immunohistochemistry (Agley, C.C., et al. (2013). J. Cell. Sci. 126(Pt 24):5610-5625).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot immunostained the fibrous stroma and vessels in acetone-fixed, frozen human tissue sections by fluorescent immunohistochemistry (Haynes, B.F., et al. (1984). J. Exp. Med. 159(4):1149-1168).
